1. First picture: It goes to a pipe approx and inch behind the rear auxillary actuator.

2. Second picture: Windshield washer hose. Attaches to the hood.

3. Third picture: See your orange connnector? Look straight down on the aft edge of the orange connector and you see two metal pipes sticking straight up. It goes on the most fwd of those two.

4. Forth picture: Leave that alone . Its for a test rpm meter. Do not ground or the car is a gonner!

5. Fifth picture: Dittos to answer four. DOn't connect a thing to it or the car is dog meat.

6. Pretty sure it was for cars that have an electric fan for the a/c. You have no sensor, so tie it back.

7. The yellow plug is for pressurizing your fuel rails without starting the car. Its used to check for fuel leaks. You put a jumper b/t the two sockets, turn the key to on, and that makes the fuel pump come on and then you look for leaks..........the green plug is for checking the setting of the tps using a home made light assy. Make sure you make the assy out of leds from RAdio Shack. Do not use common light bulbs or the ECU will go tango uniform.......the brown wire is a mystery. If the other end is on a lug going to the chassis, I'd suspect the guy used that wire for the yellow fuel connector. Instead of jumpering the two sockets in the yellow connector, he inserted that wire in one of the sockets to complete the circuit. Won't hurt which you insert it into, but matter which if you want the pump to work. See, one of the two sockets in the yellow connector IS a ground wire. So if you put that brown wire in that socket nothing will happen. You would have to put it in the other socket to make the pump work. Make sense????

This general rotary tech support forum is more or less a backwater. Take your post if its second generation relaated to the Second Generation forum for quicker responses. But if you prefer slow responses, post here.
